Guru Gobind Singh travelled from here to Anandpur Sahib for the
cremation of his fathers head which had been spirited away from Delhi
by a devoted Sikh, Bhai Jaita. Guru Hargobind as well as Guru Har Rai
were cremated here. The ashes of Guru Har Krishan were brought from
Delhi and immersed here in the river Sutlej. In 1675 Guru Gobind Singh
at the age of nine received the tragic news that his father Guru Tegh
Bahadur had been executed in Delhi.

five defensive forts all around the town. Keshgarh at the center (now
a Takht), Anandgarh (fort of bliss), Lohgarh (fort of steel), Holgarh
(fort of colour) and Fatehgarh (fort of victory). All the forts were
joined together with earthworks and underground tunnels. The
construction began in 1689 and took over ten years to complete.
